Think we should go for Michael Cheek?

20 goals for Braintree despite them getting relegated so proven scorer in this league

If he can stay fit I'd have Bingham but he's unlikely to displace Robinson and Boucaud and I doubt he'd be happy to be sub. Could play in a midfield 3 though, I've never been convinced with this 4231 formation anyway.

Though Bingham was good when he left he did rather spend too long injured.

not for me Bingham is not as good as boucard so why bother.
we need a winger or 2 I'm expecting young Hyde to make a impression this pre season so there 1 back up centre mid.
I think this be out quietest for players in or out unless some idiot wants to overpay for hawk.
I can see whitely moving on and a few being released but nothing major
but we finished 9th!

Surprised at the reaction towards Bingham. His injury record is my only concern.

For me, he has more to his game than Boucaud.

Baucard more skilful, Bingham more likely to score goals but very injury prone. I wouldn't be upset to see him back. Did you go speak to Gowans lee ?

Boucard, Robinson, Howell, Heard, Hyde, Robson (if needed).

Centre mid is the last place we need to strengthen IMO.

Bingham was with us forever and had half a decent season when his contract was up. for me he wasn't great at all. he pretends to tackle. fair enough he is ok with the ball but hides a lot.
I'd much rather Hyde who is hungry than anyone like Bingham
but we finished 9th!

Femi is a free agent. Would we have him back?

I don't quite get the current obsession of resigning past players that are currently at a loose end. We've done so well previously by finding hungry players from the lower leagues who are desperate to make a name for themselves. Do former players like Femi, even Bingham, who have had that chance and haven't done much with it, really fit that description?

I liked both when they were here but I don't think they're what we need for the future.

Femi was Boreham Woods player of the year. He is a defender and they had a few decent forwards who could have easily won it.

Femi was the supporters player that of the year. The manager released him.
